Boy/girl twins. What goes with....

Max.

We thought we had two girls. So had kind of matchy style names (Camille and Claudia) in the pipeline.

Neither of those is the girls' name I love, but I kind of didn't mind because there were two, so it wouldn't be like one had my favourite name over the other. I like both the names, but no more than like.

Now it's turned out they're definitely boy/girl. So the boy will be Max. And I can't think of anything I like other than the name I can't have, now it's only one girls name I need. (It's been what my daughter has always been called in my head for the last 20yrs, and literally a year ago, this bitch who's connected directly to our family stole it, and yes I am fucking bitter) Spam me with names that go with Max please. Help me find something I love...

What about Aurelie? Or Odalie?

I'm furious that my beautiful daughter has had her name stolen by an awful woman for no reason other than to be spiteful.

This is just so extreme - your daughter didn’t even exist.

I genuinely do agree with the poster who suggests you see a counsellor or therapist because I really don’t think this is a healthy mindset (& I don’t say that as a slur either - but as someone who’s needed support at times previously). This irrational & targeted anger is very concerning.

Adrianna was in the list with Claudia and Camille. Angelina I think was as well. Hester too.

They're all just nice enough names though. They're not "Evangeline"

DB and DM wouldn't forgive me though. They couldn't stop me. And they'd know why. But they'd be really pissed. Because to them, I guess there's a billion other names, and I'm acting like I can only possibly like one. I see how it would look like that.

You think someone who doesn’t know you, ‘somehow found out’ a name you love but hadn’t used & then named their baby that name solely to piss you off ?

That sounds ridiculous to me & your anger & bitterness over someone naming their own baby a name you don’t have ownership of all seems a bit odd to me.

How many syllables does your surname have, and if if you don't mind sharing what letter does it start with?

Too outing to answer much on that. But it's two syllables and not far off "Bell" as mentioned in PP. Let's go with..."Bellsey" that's similar enough and far away at the same time.

How about Antigone? I love it, especially with Tiggy as a nn

Tiggy as a nickname is adorable. Love it. Unfortunately Antigone makes me think of a cleaning product. I do like names that can have cute nicknames off the back of them. I like Mi-Mi for example, but again, don't like the Amelia, or such that it would stem from.

I know I'm a pain in the ass. That's why that one name was so important. It's really hard for me to like names, but when I do, I love it.

Suggesting you speak to someone isn't a slight - it's just horrible feeling so angry and seems a shame it could cloud your feelings about your precious twins, esp your daughter if she doesn't have the name you want.

You like Evangeline, Claudia, Camille.

What about:

Apolline
Genevieve
Athena
Cleophee
Emmeline
Clementine
Clemency
Josephine
Cecile
Theodora
Celeste
Marguerite
Capucine
Amandine
Ombeline

I think Camille is the nicest tbh though!
